When Personal Habits Are Formed
Popular Science Monthly.

Popular Science Monthly.
If the period between twenty and
thirty is the critical one in the forma-
tiOn of intellectual and professional
habits, the period below twenty is
more important still for the fixing OF
personal habits, properly so-called,
such as vOcalizatiOn and pronunciation,
gesture, motion and address. Hardly
ever is a language learned after TWEEN
ty spoken without a foreign accent
hardly ever can youth transferred to
the society Of his betters unlearn the
nasality and other vices of speech bred
IN him by the associations of his grow
ing years. Hardly ever, indeed, nc
matter how much money there be in
his pocket, can he even learn to dress

The Difference.

1t is never safe to make an exception
rule of conduct. One of the best il
Illustrations of this fact was given by
the Rev. DR.. Lorimer during the Min
neapOlis meetings, in little dialogue,
which if not veritable is certainly sug-
gestive. Talking with a man who had
prOfessed to be converted, minister
said: "Have you Joined the church ~
"NO; the dying thief did not join the
church, and he went to heaven"
"Have you talked to your neighbors 2"
"NO; the dying thief did not talk to
his neighbors, and he went to heaven"
"Have you given anything to mis-
sionsq" 'No; the dying thief did not
give anything to missions, and he went
to heaven" "Well, my friend, it
seems to me the difference is that he
was dying thief and you are living
thief."-[Exchange.

that employees are being buried daily 10y

The first IL known AS ''dumps'-thost

The second train contains those who die

Along the shores OF Norway.

In sailing along the shore you con-
slantly see large churches plaad close 10
the water with no population around
them and no roads leading W them. A
little observation, particularly on Sunday,
shows you that they are placed at such
positions that the peasants can come TO
them by boat. and they frequently come
from long distances. Near some Of the
churches there are houses vacant except
ON Saturdays or Sundays. when the
peasants come there and occupy them.
Occasionally you see a picturesque mar
rage party on their way TO n Of these
churches in boats, shooting oil guns as
they pass along. II is a little curious
that ever way up to the North Cape you
lind mosquitoes, and at times they are
very annoying; SO much so that all the
guide hooks advise travellers to take
mosquito nets with them, but | did not
hapIsn to find that necessary. From
the North Cape, or from within a few
miles Of il. | amused myself by cabling
to America, and subsequently learned
that my dispatch was received earlier in
point of time than at the hour II was
sent. Col. George Bliss in New York

A new use Of the photograph process is
the preservation of manuscripts. IL isan
idea of the publishers of The Century dc
tionary, the work on which involves so
much handling of the sheets of paper con-
tanning the matter to be printed that they
would soon he unreliable. Each of the
$4,000 sheets of .'copy" has been copied
on a negative, reduced one fortieth in
size. The negatives are kept in a fire
proof building. When a duplicate Of a
sheet Of copy is wanted, n is produccd
from a negative Of any required size. A
great saving in cost Of insurance has lren
effected 10y the adoption of this plan. the
value of the mass Of copy to the 'puhlish-
ers being not less than Sl5n. coo, and the
cost Of the negatives heing moi more than
$500. Aud no money received from an
insurance company in case of destruction
Of such property by fire could repair the
loss of time consumed 10y the host OF
students who had contributed the orig.
inal manuscript. The idea was borrowed
from the custom followed in Paris during
its siege by the Prussian army. when re-
duced copies Of letters were sent 10y car

A WASHINGTON special under date
Of the End inst. says the amount Of
$4,000, specifically appropriated by
Mr.. Vests amendment offered to
to the sundry civil hills for the pur-
pose OF surveying the lands lying
within the limits Of the Northern Pa
cifc land grant, 10 distinctly an an
nouncement Of q determination by
Montana TO have the benefits Of those
lands by taxation, and q letter address,
cd by Mr.. Toole to Mr.. Vest, whom he
asks to offer the amendment, states az
much. In this letter Mr.. Toole says:
He Is ware q law has been passed by
the House to forfeit these lands, and is
now pending before a conference com
mittee. II this forfeiture is made, In
the interest of settlers In pursuit OF
homes these surveys ought to be ex'
tended. II the forfeiture Ii lot de-
elared then Montana ought to have the
benefits derived from the taxation Of
these lands, and that a only be had
by surveying them. He shows thai
there are 100000 acres Of Northern
Pacific granted lands In the territory,
and that only about 5000, 900 acres Of
them have been surveyed and listed
for taxation by the railroad company
under the law passed at the last ses.

A RATHER interesting point relating
To the issue Of free passes under tn,
Interstate commerce bill has just been
raised by Mr.. Charles +. Adams, the
president Of the Union Pacific railroad
company. Mr.. Adams. In instructions
TO the general manager Of tue com.
pany. interpreted the act rs prohibit.
ing the giving Of free passes to persons
not connected with the service of the
company or travelling upon business
in which IL has no interest. Nj.
Adams has asked ex.Judge Dillon, the
general counsel Of the Union Pacific
company, whether his view of the law
is correct, and the latter has given an
opinion holding that railroad com.
panies subject to the provisions Of the
act are prohibited from issuing free
passes for travel not disconnected with
interstate communication or COM
merce. This Is an Interpretation of
the law which will doubtless ssdden
n large number of industrious travel
ers, Legislators or Others, but II will
probably commend itself to many rail-.
road managers, rs IL undoubtedly will
to Mr.. Adams. That gentleman las
always regarded the free pass system
rs In outrage. AS may be recollected,
In his testimony before the Gull m
committee, he declared that, 10 conse-
quence Of the issue Of free passes, 10
per cent or more had to be charged to
those who pay fares TO make up for
those who do NOT.

Sunday, February d. 1887.

A BILL introduced In the California
Legislature providing for the ersdica-
ton Of CHAMBERS, has attracted a great
deal OF attention from California stock
men. In commenting on this meas
ure the sacramento Bee says: The
principal feature Of this measure 10
that 1t gives to each Board Supervisor
power to appoint q county veterinary
surgeon. upon petition Of twenty-five
tax payers. 1t is the duty Of the vet
Urinary surgeon to examine all animals
reported to be diseased. The object of
this bill Is praise worthy, but the meas
ure is not likely 10 be effective. So
long as the disease exists In any coun-
ty, it will continue to spread 10 other
counties, no matter what action may
be taken in those other countie-. And
experience indicates that comparative.
ly few counties will take the
needed action. The reason why
she uisSase - a'io"eu w
spread 80 widely is the gen.
sral ignorance of Its dangerous
and fatal character. Animals affected
with II may show no external symp-
tom Of the disease, and may be used
for ordinary work. Meanwhile, they
infect drinking troughs and managers.
One diseased horse, used as a traveller,
may ia this way spread the malady
through a dozen counties. To wait
for petitions from taxpayers, or regu-
lar meetings Of boards Of supervisors,
before taking steps to eradicate CLAN
ders. Is a degree of folly that can be
excused only by Ignorance Of the ma.
ture Of the disease. which, be IL al.
ways remembered, is readily com.
municsted 10 man and Is necessarily
fatal. A bad feature of the bill Is the
allowance Of twenty-five dollars q
head to the owner Of each glandered
animal whose destruction may be
ordered. A glandered animal has no
real value, and it is an outrage on tax
payers to put this premium on pesti-
lence.n

Strong measures are being taken in
Persia to prevent the importation Of ami.
line dyes for use in textile manufactures,
such as carpets and brocades. II Is main
tanned that these dyes are not only less
artistic and stable, but also that they are
positively injurious TO health as compared
with indigenous dyes. A similar move
ment Is being felt in India, where large
quantities Of aniline colors are used: and
1t is expected that, unless action be
speedily taken, Indian fabrics will lose
much OF their reputation .-Boston Tran
